Crowdmark vs Rubric IQ

Crowdmark is a web application for evaluating, discussing and responding to exams, essays, lab reports and other student work. Instructors can use paper assessments they already have, create assignments or set up exams with multiple-choice questions. They can scan and upload student work, while students can submit assignments using mobile phones. Grading tools support scores, graphical annotations, hypertext comments, mathematical notation and reusable comments. Crowdmark reports student performance by question and provides an API for extracting insights. Its FAQ lists roster and grade synchronization with Canvas, Brightspace/D2L, Moodle, Blackboard and Sakai. The Canvas connection can import courses, rosters, team members and sections, and export grades. The service serves higher education and K–12, with licensing options for instructors, departments, enterprises, schools and school districts. Prices are quoted by Crowdmark, and both course-based and annual subscriptions are listed. Crowdmark says personal information may be processed and stored outside Canada, including in the United States.

Rubric IQ is a web-based AI assessment intelligence platform that uses existing rubrics to assess student work and prepare feedback. It accepts handwritten, digital, image-based, and document-based submissions, including PDF, PNG, TIFF, Word, and text files. Teachers review generated results and feedback, and nothing becomes final until approval. Feedback can explain what a student did well, where marks were lost, and how to improve. Across assessments, the platform can identify cohort trends, common misconceptions, and learning gaps. Moodle assessments can be imported; listed RTO integrations also include aXcelerate, API, and custom integrations. The maker says it is hosted on Microsoft Azure and Australian built and supported. Rubric IQ has a free plan and trial. Individual Teacher costs A$40, paid once for 40 credits, with no recurring fees; credits do not expire. Schools and organisations use application pricing.
